Not on the list is a revenue bill needed to complete the budget. Sen. Liz Krueger, a Manhattan Democrat who is the vice chair of the chamber’s Finance Committee (and blessedly, one of the few people who will honestly articulate the conference’s plans) said that she’s “not sure if we’re going to be doing any other bills on the floor, other than this active list.”

“Then we’re going back into budget negotiations,” she said blearily.

But there’s a strong movement in the conference to just go home, several Democrats indicated. Republicans have been snidely throwing bombs at the indecision, and Democratic Conference Leader John Sampson’s hope that he can wrest concessions about a system to allow SUNY to charge higher tuition at some campuses.

“The Democrats are going to outlast Shelly Silver!” Said Deputy Minority Leader Tom Libous, R-Binghamton. He then held his hand to his nose, covered his mouth, and made a melodramatic snickering noise that I can’t quite capture in words.
